CHELMSFORD, England,
December 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Franchising contributes £15.1bn a year to the British economy
and employs 621,000 people.1 To celebrate the truly
inspirational thought leaders in their field, Elite Franchise 100
has returned to recognise the best brands UK franchising has to
offer.
From being judged on their financial growth and the scale of
their networks to the support offered to franchisees and ability to
keep innovating, claiming the top spots on the Elite Franchise 2019
list was far from easy.
Luckily, Elite Franchise Magazine has assembled an impressive
panel of judges to ensure the brightest stars in UK franchising -
whether they're established brands or budding franchisors at the
beginning of their journey - had a chance to shine.
The panel included Mark Scott,
head of franchising at Natwest; Fiona
Boswell, partner and head of franchising and commercial
services at law firm Fraser Brown Solicitors; Paul Clegg, managing director of Coconut
Creatives; Clive Sawyer, chair of
Encouraging Women Into Franchising; and Carl Reader, director of Dennis & Turnbull.
They joined Elite Franchise's editor Zen Terrelonge and web editor
Eric Johansson to discover the best
franchises in the UK.
While Home Instead Senior Care reclaimed the top gong from last
year, the top 15 franchises show just how impressive that
accomplishment is.
The top 15 on the Elite Franchise 100 2019 were:
1. Home Instead Senior Care
2. ènergie Fitness
3. McDonald's
4. Snap-on Tools
5. ActionCOACH
